In April 2020, 60 percent of Russians believed it was better for their country to have strict rather than soft measures to tackle the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The largest share of supporters of stronger restrictions was among the population aged above 60 years. Approximately one third of 18-to-24-year-olds preferred the soft measures option.
Public opinion on whether measures to control the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) should be strict or soft in Russia in April 2020*
* The original question was asked by the source as follows: "Different state strategies to fight the coronavirus exist. In some countries, authorities impose hard restrictive measures. They have a negative impact on the economy, but allow to avoid high mortality from the coronavirus. In other countries, on the contrary, authorities refuse hard restrictive measures and impose soft measures. This reduces negative consequences of the coronavirus for the economy, but prolongs the duration of the epidemic and the mortality rate. What do you think, which option is preferable for our country?"
